The band used to come to Myrtle about 3-4 times a year and we would have house parties after their shows. Many of my friends grew up with them so we all became really close and the parties were some of the best times I've ever had. We would sit in the garage and driveway all night long and they would play for us all, with others joining in. Below is their latest video, which they performed with their dad, who is battling cancer.
"This is a special video, because it was written and performed by 3 generations of West Virginia troubadours.
The Davisson Brothers Band came up from nothing, they have been making music to keep the electric and gas on since Donnie was 4 and Chris was 11. They played 5 nights a week all through grade school and middle school to pay their bills, and have worked their way into a national touring act and one of the most known/loved acts to ever come out of the great state of West Virginia. If there was a Mount Rushmore of West Virginia bred musicians, they would surely be on it.
This is the first song they have ever released with their father Eddie (The Grey Haired fellow wielding a Les Paul). Their Dad performed this for us while battling gut wrenching pain and sickness from intense Cancer treatment that would bring most men to their knees, as you can see… he fought through for us and proceeded to rip solos for radiowv. Eddie was a full time gigging musician playing anywhere that would have him 6 nights a week, moose and elk lodges, campgrounds and bar rooms, all the while never having recorded or released a single record, until now that is. Eddie was born in Rock Camp, WV in humble beginnings, one of ten children, it was an honor to get to record him for his first time." - radiowv
